“Reading out the pre-trial confession in court” is an intentional or unintentional omission in the Criminal Procedure Law of China, but the legislative loopholes are filled up by some judicial interpretations, moreover, reading out pretrial confessions is a kind of normal judicial practice. In China, “reading out the pretrial confession” functions as either substantial evidence or impeaching evidence, and is in a dilemma between self-incrimination and autonomous decision-making. So, to legalize reading out pre-trial confession, the judicial practice of Chinese country, on the one hand, should turn from the emphasis on “prohibition using illegal evidence” to “ban obtaining evidence illegally” in the application of illegal evidence exclusion rule; on the other hand, should bring forward three-sided relationship emphasized by principles of direct trial to the investigation phase from the trial stage.
